need my script to run in the background

[chii]

Hello. I've read the basics of AutoIt. I'm trying to make a macro that would press a button repeatedly.

My code's simple. I let this loop.

Func Plank()

MouseClick("left", 69 , 62, 1)

Sleep("3000")

EndFunc

My problem is, I want it to run while I can open other windows. With my current code, I have to let the client be activated. I can't use my computer anymore for surfing or other things.

What do I add or how do I modify it to make it run in the background? Thank you!

Funk Plank()

Controlclick("title of window","","Name of control")

sleep("3000")

EndFunc

Thank you! This pushed me into the right direction. I'm reading all about controls right now. Sorry, I'm not very well-versed with programming. ^^

I have several additional functions

func macroThirst($color)

$color = PixelGetColor (56, 383)

$color1 = PixelGetColor (50, 375)

Thirst($color)

life($color1)

Plank()

macroThirst($color)

EndFunc

Func Thirst($color)

If $color=15526360 Then

Sleep(25000)

Send("6")

Sleep(2000)

Send("e")

Sleep(2000)

Send("4")

Sleep(2000)

Send("5")

Sleep(2000)

Else

Sleep(1000)

EndIF

EndFunc

Func life($color1)

If $color1=15526360 Then

Terminate()

Else

Sleep(500)

EndIF

EndFunc

Func Plank()

MouseClick("left", 69 , 62, 1)

Sleep("3000")

EndFunc

Basically, I need to check my life and thirst. Life is just a box of color and thirst is also a box of color as well. At a certain pixel, I order it to pause clicking and drink a shake (e).

I've read only a bit about controls so I'm still confused. What do I add to make the color check (if color is not equal to green and color1 is not equal to blue) work, even though the window is not active? A point in the right direction is very much appreciated.

I'm thinking that I should use controlsend or controlcommand? Am I right?

Thank you!
